Don't Cross or Walk Along Motorways

The Highways Agency aims to make more people aware of the dangers of walking or crossing our motorway. We have launched a poster and radio campaign aimed at 16-25yr olds. Hopefully with our hard hitting posters, our message will come across.

National Vehicle Recovery Service goes live in the South West

National Vehicle Recovery Service goes live in the South West

The National Vehicle Recovery Service is now live in 3 regions.

On Tuesday 7 April 2009, new removal and disposal powers, and the National Vehicle Recovery Manager contract went live in the South West Regional Control Centre region.  Traffic Officers in the South West can now deal end to end with incidents outside of police interest.

Roll out will continue in May in the West Midlands region and it is expected that roll out will be complete in Summer 2009.
